A marine team from the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) has discovered a dead whale off the coast of the emirate.

The EAD shared a photo of the whale carcass on Instagram. The whale was towed from the front of the Al Reem and Al Daman Islands.

Experts examined the body and collected the necessary data. The bodies were later disposed of in coordination with the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company (Tadweer).

“The whale species was identified as Bryde’s whale, which feeds on small marine life through a filtration system. The species is important because it contributes to the ecological balance of the marine ecosystem,” the agency said.

However, the EAD did not explain the cause of the whale’s death.
